Honorary Liaison and past <strong>Kechara</strong> House President, Datin<br />

Ng Wee Chin is one of <strong>Kechara</strong>’s most loved and respected<br />

members for her unwavering dedication to H.E. Tsem Tulku<br />

Rinpoche and passionate, selfless support of <strong>Kechara</strong>.<br />

On pilgrimage in Kathmandu, Nepal with<br />

Rinpoche five years ago.<br />

Honorary Liaison Datin Ng Wee Chin, who is the immediate past president of <strong>Kechara</strong> House<br />

and member of the <strong>Kechara</strong> World Peace Centre (KWPC) Executive Committee, has played<br />

a vital role in the explosive growth of the <strong>Kechara</strong> organisation. Quiet and unassuming, her<br />

elegant demeanour belies her achievement as a busy and successful businesswoman who also<br />

has a full family life yet always finds time for Dharma. It wasn’t always like this.<br />

Datin Ng had considered herself a Buddhist but prior to meeting Rinpoche, she had<br />

little knowledge and understanding about Dharma. She confessed that she was not even<br />

particularly inclined towards spirituality before meeting Rinpoche.<br />

All this changed when she was introduced to Rinpoche by Liaison Henry Ooi and his wife,<br />

Angel, on Wesak Day 2004. When she observed over time how committed <strong>Kechara</strong> members<br />

like Liaison Henry, Liaison Ruby and Angel were, and how they unconditionally supported<br />

Rinpoche’s work, even when they themselves did not have much resources then, Datin Ng<br />

was inspired to help.<br />

Datin making intricate crystal offerings<br />

onto the Buddha statues in Ladrang.<br />

Receiving teachings from Rinpoche in Buddha’s<br />

place of Enlightenment, Bodhgaya.<br />

The Priceless Reward<br />

“I asked myself, if they can, why can’t I? Certainly, Rinpoche had a direct and substantial<br />

impact on me.<br />

“When I learned and understood more about the essential meaning of Dharma, belief and<br />

faith came along naturally. I realised that I shouldn’t waste my life away. Hence, I started to<br />

get more involved in doing Dharma work by putting Dharma methods into practical actions.”<br />

After attending many of Rinpoche’s talks, and finding that the down-to-earth wisdom Rinpoche<br />

shared resonated with her and transformed her life, she committed to support Rinpoche’s<br />

work. Her motivation was that others would gain the benefits that she had received. Thus,<br />

she became one of Rinpoche’s largest and most devoted sponsors. Not one for the limelight,<br />

Datin has always contributed to the organisation quietly and unconditionally. Her priceless<br />

reward has been the Dharma.<br />

She shares, “What I like about Dharma is that if you understand Dharma correctly and act<br />

accordingly, you’ll find much greater satisfaction and meaning in life. More so, it gives the<br />

body and mind a sense of inner peace and calm.<br />

“I support Rinpoche’s Dharma work so that more people can benefit from his teachings as<br />
